Have some respect, Fashion Week.
An angry neighbour was left with no option but to storm the catwalk at the Ellery runway show at the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in Sydney.
Australian designer Ellery wrapped up her 20 minute catwalk show at Eveleigh’s Carriageworks by taking to the runway for a bow, right as a grumpy neighbour stormed through the crowd to interrupt.
He burst through the media section and VIP area to make it onto the catwalk, shaking his fist and reportedly yelling “You have no respect for the local community, the noise is way too loud, this is a disgrace.”
At 7.45pm.
Ellery made a quick U-turn on the catwalk and gracefully waved goodbye, whilst the neighbour was tackled and removed by security.
We feel your pain, dude. Noisy neighbours are the worst.
Keep it down, fashion. Your neighbours are trying to sleep.

This gentleman was interviewed on a couple of shows last night. He didn't realise he was interrupting a show and has since apologised to the designer. Maybe he did have a point about the noise though as he lives three streets away from the show. Might just be a little loud!
He might be a shift worker. No one realises how little consideration shift workers get from neighbours and the community. Mowers, music, street parties...all go all day and polite requests to limit noise are met with abuse. Because its 'daylight hours' no complaints can be made. And often Drs, nurses and emergency personnel function on night shift with very little sleep....saving lives.
So everyone just has to be quiet all the time in case someone is a shift worker? Of course no complaints can be made. No mowing in the day? No renovations on your house? No playing music or having a lunchtime BBQ with mates? Get real. If my neighbour told be to keep it down in the middle of the day because I was mowing, sawing and sanding or playing music, polite or not, they'd be met with abuse, too. How rude to think that the world should revolve around your working hours. As someone who chooses shift work, it's your problem to work out, not your neighbours who have things to do in the day and who are well within their rights to make noise.
It was 7:45 in the evening and this fellow rudely interrupted a show and took away from someone's work. Not at all acceptable and no excuses are valid for such behaviour.
I'm a doctor working in an Emergency Department. As much as I would like peace and quiet to sleep, I do recognise this is unreasonable to request when people are going about their everyday business. I therefore adjust my patterns - I have an eyemask, block-out blinds and earplugs. After a busy shift I sleep soundly :)
